INTEODTJCTOEY  NOTE  BY  THE  AMEEICAN  EDITOE. 


The  serviceable  little  Dictionary  of  the  Rev.  Mr.  Hole  — 
reprinted  by  arrangement  with  the  English  publishers  — 
was  placed  in  my  hands  with  the  request  that  I  would  make 
such  additions  of  American  names  as  would  fit  it  for  use 
and  acceptance  in  this  country.  Supposing  that  the  labor 
involved  would  be  but  slight,  I  readily  undertook  the  task. 
An  examination  of  the  work,  however,  soon  satisfied  me  that 
extensive  additions  and  alterations  were  needed ;  for,  while 
it  was  apparent  that  the  compiler  was  justly  entitled  to  the 
praise  of  having  produced  a  manual ,  embodying  in  a  con- 
densed form  a  large  amount  of  biographical  memoranda,  and 
of  having  taken  especial  pains  to  secure  correctness  in  the 
important  matter  of  dates,  it  was  equally  evident  that  much 
which  the  users  of  the  book  might  reasonably  look  for  with 
the  expectation  of  finding,  had  been  omitted. 

To  point  out  the  defects  of  a  book  which,  after  all, 
shows  great  industry,  conscientious  research,  and  general 
accuracy,  is  an  ungrateful  duty ;  but  justice  to  the  public 
and  myself,  as  well  as  to  the  English  editor,  requires  that 
I  should  state  the  limits  of  my  own  revisionary  labor  and 
responsibility,  and,  in  doing  this,  I  shall  necessarily  indicate 
some  of  the  deficiencies  and  imperfections  of  the  original 
work. 

My  attention  was  directed,  in  the  first  place,  to  the  col- 
lection and  insertion  of  American  names,  of  which  only  a 
very  meager  list  is  given  in  the  English  publication.  The 
additions  which  I  have  made  amount  to  many  hundreds, 
and  include  such  names  as  Arnold,  Burr,  Choate,  Douglas, 
Foote,  Gallatin,  Hancock,  Marion,  Otis,  Paulding,  Percival,

IV  INTRODUCTORY  NOTE. 

Pocahontas,  Randolph,  Standish,.  Sumter,  Taney,  Wirt,  and 
many  others.  There  are  some,  it  is  true,  of  much  less  note 
than  these,  yet  they  are  important  in  a  work  designed  for 
circulation  in  America. 

To  carry  out  more  fully  the  plan  of  the  book,  and  make 
it  still  more  useful  and  acceptable,  I  have  added  a  large 
number  of  European  names  of  undoubted  importance  which 
the  English  editor  had  omitted,  and  which  one  would  natu- 
rally expect  to  find  in  a  work  of  this  sort ;  as,  for  example, 
Abraham-a-Sancta  Clara,  Banim,  Chlopicki,  De  Wette,  Im- 
mermann,  Miaulis,  Passow,  Topffer,  Torquemada,  &c. 

In  not  a  few  instances,  I  hav.e  been  able  to  supply  missing 
dates ;  while  of  dates  erroneously  given  or  marked  as  doubt- 
ful, I  have  corrected  or  verified  a  still  larger  number. 

The  orthography  of  the  names  has  received  much  of  my 
attention.  Besides  rectifying  some  grave  mistakes,  and  some 
hardly  less  grievous  inconsistencies,  I  have  been  at  a  good 
deal  of  pains  to  supply  accents  in  the  French,  German,  and 
other  Continental  namel,  which  are  for  the  most  part  printed 
without  them  in  the  English  book,  and  have  in  consequence 
a  very  awkward  and  unfamiliar  look.  It  is  not  always  easy, 
however,  to  determine  what  accent  a  particular  letter  should 
have,  or  whether  it  should  have  any,  as  authorities  are  some- 
times at  variance.  A  notable  example  of  this  is  Fenelon^ 
which  in  some  standard  works  of  reference  is  printed,  though 
incorrectly,  Fenelon. 

The  English  edition  of  this  Dictionary  gives  the  month 
and  day  as  well  as  the  year  of  death,  but  not  the  month  and 
day  of  birth,  though  by  most  persons  the  latter  would  be 
considered  no  less  important  than  the  former.  For  this  and 
for  other  reasons,  it  has  been  thought  advisable  to  give,  in 
this  reprint,  nothing  more  than  the  years  of  birth  and  death, 
which  are  all,  probably,  that  the  consulter  of  the  book  will 
generally  require. 

Some  minor  changes,  deemed  to  be  improvements,  are 
perhaps  scarcely  worth  mentioning :  such  as  the  substitution 
of  the  customary  and  legitimate  abbreviations  of  common 
Christian  names,  or  their  full  forms,  for  the  uncouth  and 
arbitrary  contractions  adopted  by  the  English  editor,  —  Fees. 


INTRODUCTORY  NOTE.  V 

for  Frances,  Hy.  for  Henry,  Jam.  for  James,  Jph.  for  Joseph, 
and  the  like ;  the  re-arrangement  of  individuals  of  the  same 
surname  according  to  the  alphabetical  order  of  their  Chris- 
tian names,  —  the  usual  method  in  Biographical  Dictionaries, 
—  and  not  according  to  the  order  of  their  deaths ;  and  the 
frequent  amendment  or  modification  of  the  compendious 
biographical  information  attached  to  the  names  for  the  pur- 
pose of  identifying  the  individuals  who  bore  them.  In  gen- 
eral, however,  the  intention  has  been  to  adhere  to  the  plan 
of  the  English  work ;  and  hence  the  editor's  rule  of  substi- 
tuting the  English  equivalents  of  foreign  Christian  names  for 
the  vernacular  forms  has  been  almost  uniformly  followed, 
though  not  without  much  misgiving  and  dissatisfaction. 

After  the  stereotyping  had  proceeded  as  far  as  the  middle 
of  the  letter  E,  there  came  into  my  hands  a  copy  of  the  sec- 
ond London  edition,  containing  a  list  of  some  hundreds  of 
omitted  names.  From  this  point  onward,  I  incorporated  into 
the  body  of  the  work  such  of  these  names  as  I  had  not 
already  inserted ;  the  remainder,  together  with  some  other 
names  which  had  either  been  overlooked,  or  which  belonged 
to  persons  very  recently  deceased,  are  given  in  an  appendix. 
(See  p.  442.) 

It  is  in  contemplation  to  follow  this  work  with  a  com- 
panion volume,  on  the  same  general  plan,  devoted  to  dis- 
tinguished living  characters. 

Having  long  felt  the  want  of  a  comprehensive  and  thor- 
oughly trustworthy  biographical  index,  such  as  the  present 
compilation  aspires  to  be,  and  knowing  well  the  great  liability 
to  error  in  any  work  containing  so  many  thousands  of  names 
and  dates,  I  shall  thankfully  avail  myself  not  only  of  public 
criticism,  but  of  any  corrections  or  suggestions  that  may  be 
privately  communicated  to  me.

PREFACE. 


The  principal  object  of  this  work  is  to  afford  ready  informa- 
tion of  the  births  and  deaths  of  deceased  persons,  more  or 
less  noteworthy,  of  all  countries  and  periods.  Biographical 
dictionaries  on  the  ordinary  plan,  besides  being  more  and 
more  voluminous  in  proportion  to  their  value,  and  conse- 
quently more  cumbrous  to  consult  for  a  passing  occasion,  fall 
necessarily  and  rapidly  into  chronological  arrears  ;  while  a 
less  pretending  book,  like  the  present,  by  allowing  usually  no 
more  than  a  line  to  a  single  name,  containing,  therefore, 
many  more  entries  than  even  some  bulky  quartos  of  bio- 
graphical matter,  and  so  being  for  the  mere  purpose  of  the 
above-named  dates  more  serviceable  than  they,  stands  also 
from  its  size  a  greater  chance  of  frequent  reprints,  and  keep- 
ing its  information  level  with  the  times.  This  is  the  claim 
it  ventures  to  put  forth  to  the  notice  and  favor  of  the  public. 
It  hopes  to  lie  upon  the  desk,  an  unobtrusive  companion  of 
other  books  of  many  sorts,  to  give  a  reader  its  rapid  answer 
whenever  he  is  tempted  to  pause  at  a  name,  and  ask  no  more 
than  —  "  When  did  he  live  ?  " 

In  explanation  of  the  contents,  it  will  be  necessary  to  pref- 
ace a  few  brief  remarks.  The  additions,  for  instance,  that 
will  be  found  attached  to  the  names,  are  not  to  be  under- 
stood as  intended  vainly  to  furnish  any  condensed  biograph- 
ical information,  nor  always  to  indicate  the  person's  title  to 
a  place  in  a  biographical  list,  but  chiefly  for  identifying  the 
individual ;  which  will  be  felt  a  matter  of  some  utility  when 
it  is  remembered  how  frequently  talents  of  the  same  descrip- 
tion run  in  families,  and  how  successive  generations  of  the 
same  name  —  on  the  Continent  especially  —  appear  as  paint-

ers,  engravers,  printers,  and  scholars.  Again,  to  avoid  con- 
fusion, and  secure  a  more  complete  distinction  of  the  greater 
personages,  others  bearing  the  same  surnames  are  frequently 
added,  and  this  is  the  apology  for  the  appearance  of  some 
that  might  be  considered  in  themselves  too  obscure  to  deserve 
insertion.  The  Italics  within  brackets  in  all  cases  indicate 
some  production  of  the  pen,  or  some  work  of  art ;  and  these, 
too,  are  for  assisting  in  the  identification,  rather  than  for 
marking  the  special  claim  to  distinction  ;  for  in  innumerable 
instances  of  prolific  genius  it  would  be  quite  impossible  to 
select  any  single  production  as  a  chef-d'oeuvre^  though  fre- 
quently it  will  be  found  that  the  work  quoted  is  one  upon 
which  a  reputation  rests.  The  Italics  without  brackets  are 
confined  to  a  second,  or  an  assumed,  or  an  original  name,  or 
perhaps  a  sohriquet  by  which,  in  occasional  instances,  a  per- 
son is  best  known.  A  figure  that  is  not  of  established  cer- 
tainty is  marked  by  an  asterisk  [interrogation  point].  In 
cases  where  an  individual  has  had  a  separate  biographer,  this 
is  indicated  by  the  letter  L.,  or  the  word  Life. 

At  the  close  of  his  undertaking,  the  compiler  has  become 
abundantly  aware,  from  experience,  of  the  truth  of  a  com- 
mon remark,  that  there  is  nothing  so  liable  to  error  and  cor- 
ruption as  that  most  happy  invention  of  figures  ;  and  he  be- 
lieves it  will  not  prove  unsuitable  or  useless  to  make  a  few 
observations  on  this  subject. 

A  general  reader,  wishing  to  know  the  time  of  a  birth  or 
a  death,  can  turn,  say,  to  the  biographical  compendiums  — 
small,  compact,  single  volumes,  extending  to  a  very  recent 
period  —  which  an  ordinary  household  may  probably  be  sup- 
plied with,  or  to  a  cyclopaedia  of  many  quartos  or  large  oc- 
tavos on  the  shelves  of  a  more  ambitious  library,  and  if  he 
finds  his  date  in  any  one  of  these  he  is  probably  content,  and 
asks  no  further.  But  if,  requiring  greater  exactness,  or  being 
suspicious  and  desirous  of  corroboration,  he  should  take  an 
opportunity  of  consulting  several,  he  is  then  but  too  likely  to 
become  aware  of  unwelcome  discrepancies.  The  professional 
man  of  letters,  who  has  access  to  the  largest  and  best  works 
of  the  class,  such  as  the  BiograpJiie  Universelle^  the  Nouvelle 
Biographie  Generale,   or    the   Biographia  Britannica,  is  of

course  better  off,  but  even  he  does  not  escape  his  disappoint- 
ments so  often  as  might  be  imagined.  And  what  is  the  more 
perplexing,  and,  in  truth,  not  a  little  irritating,  the  dates  are 
given  with  all  the  air  of  absolute  certainty,  so  far  as  silence 
conveys  this  ;  only  the  very  first-class  books  —  and  not  always 
these  —  informing  the  reader  that  there  are  other  dates  as- 
signed, or  that  some  current  figures  have  been  proved  wrong, 
and  giving  any  hint  that  pains  have  been  taken  to  sift  dis- 
crepancies. 

The  plan  of  this  volume  does  not  admit  of  a  variation  of 
dates  being  discussed  or  even  stated,  and  only  allows  an  es- 
tablished uncertainty  to  be  intimated  by  an  asterisk  [mark  of 
interrogation].  But  the  author  is  reluctantly  obliged  to  admit, 
that,  if  any  one  of  the  following  pages  were  taken  at  random 
and  examined  with  half  a  dozen  of  the  usually  accredited 
authorities,  discrepant  figures  would  be  found  amongst  them, 
for,  perhaps,  on  an  average,  every  fourth  or  fifth  name  ;  while 
even  when  no  absolute  conflict  presents  itself,  one  of  the  dates, 
the  birth  for  instance  or  the  death,  is  entirely  omitted,  and 
some  works,  not  even  professing  to  give  any  nearer  informa- 
tion than  the  year,  seldom  mentioning  the  day.  This  esti- 
mate of  tha  degree  of  faultiness  in  our  current  information 
is  certainly  within  the  mark,  as  the  compiler's  memoranda  of 
the  variations  he  has  observed,  in  figures  alone,  to  say  noth- 
ing of  errors  in  spelling,  too  amply  testify,  and  it  is  a  discov- 
ery not  a  little  disheartening  to  those  who  have  ever  made  it, 
whose  studies  lead  them  to  take  an  interest  in  this  class  of 
dates. 

Happily,  however,  the  uncertainty  in  nativities  and  obitu- 
aries here  implied  need  not  be  acquiesced*  in  as  a  finality  in 
every  instance.  Things  are  not  so  bad  as  they  look.  A  very 
brief,  practical  acquaintance  with  the  current  statements 
shows  us  that  a  large  crop  of  errors  is  due  to  the  culpability 
of  the  more  recent  copyists  and  editors,  and  that,  with  pa- 
tience and  sufficient  comparison,  the  true  figures  are,  in  a 
considerable  number  of  instances,  not  beyond  recovery.  By 
paying  attention  to  the  various  errors  corrected  in  carrying  a 
work  like  the  present  through  the  press,  one  has  an  opportu- 
nity of  becoming  aware  of  the  kinds  of  mistakes  which  com- 


X  PREFACE. 

posltors  on  the  one  hand  are  more  particularly  liable  to,  as 
well  as  those  for  which  an  editor  on  the  other  hand  has  him- 
self solely  to  blame  ;  and,  as  this  may  sometimes  aid  in  ac- 
counting for  discrepancies,  a  few  illustrations  will  perhaps  be 
acceptable. 

For  instance,  the  figures  8,  3,  5,  frequently  get  put  in  each 
other's  places,  owing  probably  to  a  rough  resemblance  among 
them,  especially  in  indistinct  manuscript ;  and  not  only  in 
manuscript,  for  any  one  who  has  to  consult  the  new  edition 
of  the  Biographic  Universelle  must  often  have  regretted  that 
the  type  there  used  makes  the  5  and  3  so  nearly  alike  as  to 
require  a  close  scrutiny  to  detect  the  difference.  Examples 
occurring  in  the  preparation  of  the  present  work  of  6  in  the 
copy  appearing  as  9  in  the  proof,  and  instances  in  other  works 
of  these  two  figures  being  interchanged,  make  it  tolerably 
evident  that  they  sometimes  get  inverted  by  the  printer, 
either  in  sorting  the  types  or  in  the  act  of  composition.  Im- 
perfect formations  in  the  copy  have  also,  it  would  appear, 
caused  6  and  9  both  to  be  replaced  by  0.  Cases  of  6  for  0 
have  been  remarked  in  correcting  these  sheets,  and  in  the 
Biographie  Universelle,  John  HUbner  appears  as  born  in  1608 
for  1668.  The  figures  1  and  7  [1  and  9,  7  and  ^]  have  also 
been  interchanged. 

A  very  common  error  is  when  a  date  contains  the  same 
figure  repeated  consecutively,  and  the  wrong  duplicate  gets 
into  the  copy  by  a  natural  trick  of  the  eye  of  a  rapid  worker, 
especially  when  the  difference  in  the  value  of  the  two  figures 
exchanged  is  not  so  glaringly  large;  thus,  1779  becoming 
1799,  and  vice  versa,  1669  for  1699,  1445  for  1455.  In  the 
proof-sheets  of  this  work,  1755  of  the  copy  once  became 
1775.  But  1449  for  1499,  or  1228  for  1288,  would  be  more 
seldom  found,  though  the  Biographie  Universelle  has  it  that 
St.  Oswald  died  922  instead  of  992.  The  culprit  "years, 
however,  which  most  frequently  sin  in  this  way  are  1668  and 
1688.  Perhaps  the  similarity  of  sound  may  have  produced 
some  errors,  as  for  instance,  when  Gaspar  Bartholin  was  born 
July  13,  according  to  one,  and  July  30,  according  to  another. 
Two  certain  instances  of  this  mistake,  and  both  with  the  same 
pair  of  numbers,  have  been  noticed  in  these  proofs,  where 


PREFACE.  XI 

Oct.  13  appeared  instead  of  Oct.  30,  and  1530*  [?]  for 
1513*  [''].  In  the  days  of  the  month,  one  of  the  figures  is 
occasionally  omitted,  as  when  2  stands  for  12  and  3  for  30. 
The  days  of  the  month  also  get  inverted,  as  when  the  death 
of  EUer  de  Brockhusen  appears  in  the  Biographic  Univer- 
selle  to  have  occurred  Sept.  31,  and  in  the  Nouvelle  Biogra- 
pJiie  Generale,  Sept.  13.  One  frequently  finds  the  months 
Jan.  and  June  put  for  each  other,  and  in  the  French  dic- 
tionaries, March  and  May  (Mars  and  Mai),  as  also  April  and 
August  (Avril  and  Aout).  Thus,  Louis  Anthony  de  Bou- 
gainville is  said,  in  the  Nouvelle  Biographic  Generale,  to  have 
died  April  31,  an  error  which  betrays  itself,  and  we  expect  to 
find  other  authorities  giving  Aug.  31,  which  in  fact  they  do. 

But  the  editor  cannot  forbear  remarking  more  at  length 
upon  an  error  arising  not  so  much  from  accident  and  inad- 
vertence as  from  a  want  of  thought,  and  a  false  principle  of 
calculation  that  is  likely  enough  to  become  a  fixed  habit  in 
the  mind.  Thus  a  composer  of  a  biographical  notice,  finding 
it  announced  that  a  person  died  in  1850,  aged  50,  and  wish- 
ing to  put  the  fact  in  another  shape,  states  that  he  was  "  born 
in  1800,  and  died  in  1850  ;"  whereas,  from  the  loose  way  in 
which  that  phrase  "  aged  so  and  so  "  often  occurs,  this  1800 
is  not  at  all  certain,  To  give  actual  instances.  The  Annual 
Register  records  that  Richard  Ford  was  born  1796,  and  died 
Sept.  1,  1858,  aged  61  ;  but  had  we  calculated  the  birth  from 
the  death  and  age,  by  subtracting  61  firom  1858,  we  should 
have  fixed  on  1797,  which  would  have  been  wrong.  The  same 
work  says  of  the  Earl  of  Ripon,  born  in  1782,  died  Jan. 
28,  1859,  aged  76  ;  but  1859  minus  76  is  1783.  Even  if  the 
"  years "  of  a  person's  age  always  meant  completed  years, 
this  method  of  arriving  at  the  birth  would  be  uncertain  ;  for 
a  person  born  either  in  Dec.  1799  or  Jan.  1800,  and  dying  in 
Feb.  1850,  would  just  the  same  be  said  to  be  "  aged  50." 
But  sometimes  it  is  stated  that  a  person  is  "  aged  50,"  when 
he  is  more  properly  within  a  month  or  so  of  reaching  that 
number  of  years.  Thus  the  Obituary  of  the  London  Almanac 
says  that  Walter  Savage  Landor  "  died  Sept.  17,  1864,  aged 
90 ; "  but  if  we  were  to  infer  his  birth  to  have  been  in  1864 
—  90,  or  1774,  we  should  err,  as  he  was  actually  born  in  Jan.

U 

1775,  and  wanted  as  much  as  three  or  four  months  of  being 
"  aged  90."  In  fact,  a  person  who  "  died  in  1850,  aged  50," 
and  no  month  stated,  may  have  been  born  in  1799,  1800,  or 
1801.  When,  therefore,  the  Biographia  Britannica  states  that 
Henry  Burton  "  was  67  years  of  age  in  1646,  consequently  he 
must  have  been  born  in  1579,"  the  inference  is  not  to  be 
trusted  ;  and  similarly,  when  the  Biographical  Dictionary  of 
the  English  Cyclopcedia  makes  a  like  calculation  of  the  births 
of  Melchizedec  Thevenot  and  Spinello  Aretino.  It  may  also 
be  remarked  that  from  this  process  of  backward  reckoning  we 
may  suspect  to  have  arisen  a  frequent  discrepancy  of  10  years 
in  the  birth,  as  though  there  had  been  an  error  of  1  in  per- 
forming the  subtraction  sum. 

Other  discrepancies  arise  from  causes  less  culpable ;  as  when 
a  person  dies  in  the  night,  the  hour  not  being  stated,  or  is 
found  dead  in  the  morning,  the  hour  of  decease  not  being 
known,  and  one  account  makes  the  occun-ence  to  have  hap- 
pened the  day  before  and  another  the  day  after.  Thus,  UArt 
de  Verifier  les  Dates  states  the  Emperor  Lothaire  II.  to  have 
died  in  the  night  between  Dec.  3  and  4,  explaining  why  in 
the  two  great  French  dictionaries  we  find  Dec.  3  and  Dec.  4 
respectively.  When  a  person  dies  abroad,  especially  in  circum- 
stances of  turmoil  and  excitement,  reports  of  the  event  are 
likely  enough  to  vary.  This  may  possibly  explain  how  it  occurs 
that  no  less  than  four  dates  are  assigned  for  the  death  of  so 
eminent  and  so  recent  a  man  as  Sir  Henry  Havelock  ;  Maun- 
der giving  Nov.  21,  the  Book  of  Dates  and  the  Nouvelle  Bio- 
graphie  Generate,  Nov.  25,  the  London  Almanac,  Nov.  27, 
while  the  Life  of  the  hero,  by  Marshman,  his  brother-in-law, 
as  well  as  the  Annual  Register,  gives  Nov.  24,  which  may  be 
presumed  to  be  the  correct  day.  One  would  have  thought 
that  the  very  hour  and  day  of  the  execution  of  Robespierre 
would  have  been  well  remarked ;  nevertheless,  we  find  in 
Chalmers  that  he  died  July  10 ;  Rees's  Cyclopcedia  gives  July 
28  ;  Lempriere  and  Rose,  July  28,  4  p.  m.  ;  and  Alison  in 
his  History,  July  29,  4  a.  m. 

Discrepancies  are  also  due  to  the  change  of  the  style,  an 
innovation  not  effected  without  some  unnecessary  complica- 
tion.    For  when  in  1582  the  10  superfluous  days  were  pro- 


PREFACE.  XiJl 

posed  by  the  Pope  to  be  omitted  from  the  Calendar,  the  va- 
rious countries  unfortunately  were  not  unanimous  in  adopting 
the  improvement :  Spain,  Portugal,  and  a  part  of  Italy  ac- 
cepting the  alteration  on  the  same  day  ;  France  following  the 
example  two  months  later ;  but  England  holding  out  for  no 
less  than  170  years,  when  in  1752  she  omitted  11  days  (as 
the  10  had  become  since  1700),  and  reckoned  Sept.  3  as  Sept. 
14  ;  during  which  period,  therefore,  our  chronology  and  that 
of  other  countries  differ  by  10  or  11  days,  and  historians, 
having  to  express  the  date  of  any  transaction  affecting  our- 
selves and  them,  have  to  mention  two  days  at  once,  as  Nov. 
^5^,  1688,  or  Sept.  y^g,  1715.  One  important  country,  Tlussia, 
to  this  day  retains  the  old  style,  which  is  no  longer  10  days, 
or  11,  but  12  in  advance.  Russian  dates,  consequently,  will 
often  differ  by  12  days,  and  other  continental  dates  by  10  or 
11,  from  those  accepted  by  us  ;  the  ambiguity  not  being  al- 
ways apparent,  owing  to  their  having  been  recorded  origi- 
nally, not  with  the  double  notation  for  historical  purposes,  but 
in  the  current  style  of  the  country  as  referring  to  purely  do- 
mestic and  internal  eVents. 

But  the  change  of  style,  as  far  as  England  was  concerned, 
embraced  yet  another  peculiarity  which  has  to  be  observed. 
For  whereas  up  to  the  period  of  that  change  the  civil  year 
began  on  March  25,  and  the  period  between  Jan.  1  and  March 
25  was  reckoned  to  the  old  year,  it  was  then  ordered  by  Act 
of  Parliament  that  this  practice  should  be  discontinued,  and 
the  year  in  all  cases  commence  with  Jan.  1.  But  according 
to  the  old  practice,  the  dates  within  that  interval  of  Jan.  1 
and  March  25  would  express  both  years,  and  thus  what  we  now 
write  Feb.  4,  1726,  used  inconveniently  to  be  written  Feb.  4, 
1725-6  ;  for  want  of  attention  to  which  fact  the  year  would 
be  copied  as  1725  by  one,  and  as  1726  by  another.  Hence  it 
happens  that  while  the  change  of  style  may  be  the  parent  of 
an  error  of  10  or  11  days,  or  12,  between  England  and  a  for- 
eign country,  it  may  also  occasionally  have  produced  an  error 
of  one  year  in  purely  domestic  dates,  which  is  to  be  suspected 
when  the  day  belongs  to  the  interval  between  Jan.  1  and 
March  25.     In  this  volume,  the  new  style  is  always  used. 

An  error  in  the  letters  of  a  word  is  generally  obvious,  and 


xiv  PREFACE. 

can  be  rectified  by  any  one,  while  an  error  in  the  figure  of 
a  date  is  far  otherwise,  and  even  when  obvious  seldom  pro- 
nounces or  suggests  its  own  correction.  Hence  so  many  vex- 
atious discrepancies,  and  we  are  startled  at  finding  the  most 
notorious  events  of  but  yesterday  wrongly  dated.  It  is  only 
a  matter  of  industry  and  conscientious  care  to  weed  out  errors 
of  no  longer  standing  than  this  ;  but  dates  of  early  and  me- 
iliseval  times,  that  come  down  to  us  with  discrepancies  all  the 
way,  must  stand  far  less  chance,  and  here  we  must  often  rest 
satisfied  with  approximations.  But  even  in  some  of  these  an 
additional  light  has  occasionally  been  discovered,  as  in  the 
case  of  Holbein's  death,  which  within  the  last  few  years  has 
been  proved  in  the  Archmologia  to  have  occurred  in  1543,  in- 
stead of  the  currently  adopted  1554. 

It  might,  perhaps,  have  been  expected,  that,  in  the  case  of 
historical  personages,  and  especially  in  the  case  of  reigning 
sovereigns,  fewer  discrepancies  than  usual  would  be  met  with ; 
and  yet  this  is  by  no  means  the  fact.  As  to  the  former,  we 
should  not  have  thought  that  such  an  authority  as  the  Historic 
Peerage  (formerly  the  Synopsis  of  the  Peerage  of  Sir  Harris 
Nicolas)  would  give  a  wrong  date  for  the  famous  assassination 
of  the  Duke  of  Buckingham.  It  gives  1629,  and  all  other 
authorities  1628  ;  and  for  the  day,  the  English  Cgclopcedia 
says  Aug.  24,  against  Aug.  23  of  every  one  else.  And  then, 
in  regard  to  reigning  sovereigns,  that  the  year  of  their  acces- 
sion should  be  variously  stated  need  excite  no  surprise  ;  for, 
what  with  disputed  successions,  the  de  jure  and  de  facto,  and 
minorities,  in  troublous  times  and  in  heterogeneous  domin- 
ions, an  actual  accession  may  be  variously  estimated,  as  also 
may  depositions  ;  and  this  is  the  reason  why  in  this  work 
the  years  of  a  reign  are  in  so  many  instances  omitted  en- 
tirely. Nor,  again,  may  the  birth  be  always  ascertainable, 
especially  in  the  cases  where  this  occurred  during  the  obscu- 
rity of  the  family  ;  but  one  does  look  for  more  certainty  and 
accuracy  in  the  record  of  a  sovereign's  death  than  it  is  always 
our  good  fortune  to  find.  As  regards  our  own  kings,  writers 
are  not  in  every  instance  at  one  in  the  year  of  the  birth  or 
the  day  of  the  death,  even  for  the  times  after  the  Conquest. 

....  To  prevent  incessant  cross  references  and  disap- 


PREFACE.  XV 

pointments  in  foreign  names  beginning  with  La,  Le,  De,  Van, 
&c.,  the  names  are,  in  frequent  instances,  repeated  under 
those  prefixes. 

A  work  of  this  kind,  consisting  of  some  18,000  entries,  must 
necessarily  have  been  in  the  first  instance  compiled  from  the 
leading  biographical  dictionaries,  among  which  it  is  needless 
to  particularize  the  Biograpliie  Universelle^  the  Nouvelle  Bio- 
graphie  Generate^  the  Blographia  Britannica,  and  the  works 
of  Chalmers,  Rose,  Aikin,  Gorton,  and  others.  The  dates  that 
seemed  undisputed  were  adopted  without  going  further ;  but 
in  all  cases  of  discrepancy,  biographical  collections  for  par- 
ticular series  or  special  professions  were  resorted  to,  as  Wood's 
Atlience  Oxonienses,  Cooper's  Athenm  Cantabrigienses,  Fetis's 
Musicians,  Strutt's  Engravers,  Pilkington's  Painters,  the  His- 
toric Peerage;  such  contemporary  records  as  the  Annual  Obit- 
uary, the  Annual  Register ;  L'Art  de  Verifier  les  Dates,  the 
early  Chronicles,  Smith's  Dictionary  of  Greek  and  Roman  Biog- 
raphy, and  Clinton's  Fasti,  for  historical  names ;  besides  many 
single  biographies  and  other  primary  authorities. 

The  editor,  however,  is  well  enough  aware,  that,  with  all 
the  pains  he  has  taken  to  avoid  them,  his  own  volume  cannot 
have  altogether  escaped  the  errors  he  has  been  adverting  to 
in  other  works  ;  and  he  has  seen  too  much  of  the  difficulty 
of  perfect  accuracy,  not  to  be  prompted  by  entire  sincerity 
in  asking  the  indulgence  of  his  readers.  He  will  spare  no 
pains  in  revising  each  successive  edition  that  may  be  called 
for ;  and  if  those  who  feel  the  convenience  of  consulting  an 
accurate  work  of  this  nature  will  kindly  communicate  any 
errors  they  may  discover,  with  authorities  for  their  correction, 
the  compilation  must  needs  win  increasing  confidence  at  every 
re-Issue. 

The  editor  apologizes  for  leaving  in  his  pages  a  very  few 
names  whose  dates  he  was  unable  to  ascertain  at  the  moment 
of  going  to  press.
